Swanmore, in the heart of the Meon Valley, like almost every other village, town and hamlet across the country, will be remembering their fallen over the coming days.
This year the village will be commemorating the individual headstones of those men and women buried in the churchyard, who died as a result of their wounds, with hand-knitted poppies.
Their names are also commemorated on both the War Memorial and the Roll of Honour in St Barnabas Church in the village.
During the research into their stories Accredited Community Safety Officer Gary McCulloch discovered that one soldier buried there doesn't have a headstone.
Gary, who is also the memorial custodian for the village, has researched Private Thomas John Whiting of the Hampshire Regiment and found that he joined the Army in 1907 and served in South Africa and Mauritius before his regiment was sent to France, as part of the British Expeditionary Force, at the start of the Great War.
Initially thought to have been killed in action at the end of 1914, news arrived in 1915 from the German government that he had been captured having been gassed.
The Swiss Red Cross recorded a prisoner swap in October 1918 and his documents show that he had a persistent, strong cough.
Gary said: "I haven't been able to find any relatives that were still alive at the end of the war and his last known relative was his brother who had been killed in 1914 at the Battle of the Somme. After the war, I believe that Tom was living with part of the Pink family of Bishop's Waltham."
Gary's research also showed that the Pink family had also lost sons to the war including in the same regiment as Private Whiting. Thomas John Whiting died on May 16, 1919 and was buried in St Barnabas churchyard with full military honours which was overseen by Regimental Sergeant Major McMathews of the Hampshire Regiment.
The service was officiated by the Reverend E. F. S. Ramsbottom.
The actual location of his grave is not known because the records were stolen during a break-in at the church in the 1990s. At this time Tom has no headstone which is something that Gary is working to rectify with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
Gary said: "When I contacted the Commission I was told that Private Whiting is what is referred to as a non-commemorated person which means that they have been missed, and this is something that the Commission is working hard to rectify, even today, all across the Commonwealth."
Gary has since supplied the CWGC with his evidence including Tom's death certificate and the village awaits the Commission's decision.
It is hoped that Private Whiting will get a CWGC headstone and that it is placed next to another fallen resident Lance-Corporal Cecil Victor Percival who died in similar circumstances in late 1918.
Gary will be with other residents at the village War Memorial at 11am on Saturday, November 11 to commemorate the Armistice of the Great War and then again at 11am on Sunday, November 12 to remember the fallen of the First World War and all subsequent conflicts.
